Question:
Does anyone have info on just having the small intestine disconnected?

I have information on a doctor in Mexico City who does a bypass procedure where only the small intestine in disconnected. Does anyone have information on this type of surgery? [email protected]    — Jill D. (posted on January 17, 2000)

Sorry, but I have not heard of this surgery. It does sound incredibly scary. You absorb nutrients through your small intestine and without even a piece of it I do not know how you could stay healthy.
